  • Can I join please? I have £3900 on a card I want to tackle. So my 1% is £39. Doesn't sound too bad when you say it like that!
  • #14 checking in, my 1% is £56, and currently at 39% paid off.

    No 20 here. I!!!8217;ve actually reached 100% with mine. I paid it in full at end of February as I had lots of overtime from my main job and my second job. If possible can I start a fresh? I want to tackle my next debt! 1% would be £33.40 so will round up to £34. Is that okay? Thanks

    Thanks Hun! I am over the moon. Although I am exhausted from working so much but it is such a relief to have one paid off. I still have a lot of debt but I am hoping by the end of this year to get it into single fingers. Need to just get the motivation to pay off this credit card now!

    I know what you mean about the motivation. I've got so much else going on at the moment that I'm only getting the minimum payments made every month. Most of it is on 0% though apart from just over £1,500 that's due to run out in about a week that I need to get sorted out.

  • The 1% is motivating me too, I did loads of surveys this week due to the snow and am nearly up to 2%. Just need it to pay out before I can count it though! Also done some decluttering so have a pile to ebay. Thinking of it in very small chunks definitely helps.
